Antigua and China signed a $4.68 million economic and trade cooperation agreement following the opening ceremony of the 3rd China-Caribbean Economic and Trade Cooperation Forum in Port of Spain yesterday.
Antigua PM Baldwin Spencer also met with China Vice Premier Wang Qishan following the ceremony.
The two countries, which recently agreed on rescheduling a series of loans, discussed several areas of cooperation, including agriculture, tourism and energy.
China handed over a new 30-megawatt power plant in Crabbes last week.
